Bb Predict

Over the past year, the CSU has engaged in a system-wide RFP on learning platforms and services (LPS). The decision to focus on learning platforms and services as opposed to just the Learning Management Systems (LMS) was made to recognize the increasing importance of a number tools that rely on the LMS to deliver educational resources to faculty and students. In general, a system-wide RFP is primarily a method to provide campuses aggressive pricing on products by using the CSU economies of scale size, and secondarily provide campuses a network for supporting and sharing resources about the product. With the new focus on increased graduation rates as part of the Graduation Initiative 2025, the use of data to impact and potentially predict learning (and failure) has become specially worthy of attention. As opposed to the other traditional sources of data used for analytics, the LMS data is the most “live” data, and offer the potential (assuming that the LMS is used in a consistent and appropriate manner to collect student learning data) of making timely intervention in students academic career. The CSU Office of the Chancellor, Academic Technology Services, in cooperation with CSU campuses, will support a structured means for campuses to develop and implement a strategy aimed at expanding the use of their LMS to generate, analyze and develop intervention processes in the teaching and learning environment based on the data that is stored in their LMS.
